Humble DLC "Lore"

[Bowser]

I bought the Humble DLC because it mentioned there would be new lore. While I did enjoy the DLC, the "new lore" was very disappointing.. It hardly even exists.

I did enjoy the DLC, but Prime is a much better experience. It feels more complete and it is impossible to directly mine Iridium, Uranium, and Aluminum in Humble. The ore crushers are nice at first but it becomes a detriment late game.

Not me, I love the crushers. Its a really nice way to change up the game versus the original. Different rules for different planets; I hope they do more. I like how the crushers changed the tradeship automation of items like pulsar quartz; I prefer this one versus the original

They "phoned in" the lore though, I have to agree. I hope they add more later.

I am currently 300 GTI on Humble and I have enjoyed the DLC so far. I agree the Lore can be ramped up, but if it is like Prime, not everything about the Lore was released on a Day One.

For Prime, we had to stare at a giant door for many months before other areas were released. Perhaps the same will be with Humble.

We can only hope.

I'm not a huge fan of the crushers on Humble with the current implementation, especially when it comes to Ididium and Uranium.
All the good stuff requires far more Iridium than Uranium, and since we can't control the output of the crushers, I end up with far more Uranium I can hardly get rid of and I always lack Iridum for PQ, Explosive Powder and Rocket Engines/T2 drones.

Edit: the lore felt a bit lacking, too. I was secretly hoping for a way to defect and work for the competition. :P

I half hoped that the way you get to Humble is by completing Prime. When you leave the planet (depending on the ending you chose) you would end up on Humble. I understand why they didn't go this route though.

I also hope that the lore is incoming because while I'm having fun, it's less engaging. Whenever I see the message symbol on a machine I get hopeful only to see it simply say offline. Even tried to find a way to power them up, but no luck.

On Prime they had a story, it also didn't feel complete but there was enough to stay interested. The endings were anti-climatic which may be why I thought of the alternative way to get to Humble.

The crushers would be fine if there was a higher tier that allowed us to select what resources we get from the ore, similar to Tier 3 mines. As it stands, it's just extra work for no reason. They are great at first, and it's a nice change of pace, but locking direct mining for iridium in particular is a bit of an issue. It's not unsolvable by any means, it's just not good.

I do hope they add onto the dlc to make it feel more complete, but tbh I expected that it was already finished when I purchased it. Idk, I'm just rambling a bit at this point. It's good anyway, just not what I expected. Needs a massive Lore Update.

Yeah, I was thinking that maybe Sentinel's punishment for not following their rules to a "T" in prime would be for your original avatar to have to terraform another planet. Seems like that might have been their intent all along, even, since they would likely want to hold onto that rarity, a convict who could actually manage against overwhelming odds!
Maybe there could have been ways to tie Humble in with the other two possible endings too, such as more hints about the Wardens who wanted to live and something involving the smugglers. Maybe they're really working for Sentinel?

Being able to join the robotics company and even use materials found to fix the robots might have been an interesting twist too. I felt rather sorry for the poor things, especially since it was implied they might have had some sentience. Did anyone else see the one that was stuck in those "cigarette" roots underground with a smaller one frozen in place trying to pull it out?

I like the DLC and the way the small map progressively unlocks new areas to make it larger than it originally seemed to be, but I agree the story was kind of lackluster. It would be cool to learn who Sentinel Corp are, how they managed to take over the criminal justice /penal system in this futuristic universe etc. Seeing them get some kind of comeuppance would be cool too!

I have lockers full of iridium rods, iridium rods start showing up in chests way before uranium ones do, and you do know you can shove an iridium rod into a deconstructor machine to get the 9 iridium ores back, right?

If it's explosive powders you're hankering for, you can also shove flares into that same machine to get them and free plastic, too, as well as all of those explosive charges seen on the robots.

For someone like myself who is used to automation (100+ drones) , its very disappointing not to be able to mine the big 3. I am hoping I can use drones to auto load and then auto sort the crushers.

Anyone have reach the 2 big rocks that we can see on the map (North East & West) ?
Or get golden crates ? I'm almost to the end and find anything

I got one golden portal effigie in a locker of a distant wreck (pink portal opened with various quartz) => picture in my profile. It was a rarity 5 / difficulty 3 (volcanic) portal.
Did you see the vehicle on the top of the island ? It has a space ration in its robotic hand... I think it was trying to feed something coming from the sea.. ?

My head canon is that this is what happened. You took the Sentinel ending and your reward was being dumped on another planet and told to do it all over again.

Agreed with hoping some more lore comes out.

From the changelog looks like the golden crate analogue is now in the development build, so it will be in the game soon. A bit disappointing that it was not in at release.

im way behind you guys...not great on the games...but from what ive seen the lore has great potential. from messsages im feeling there is some sort of force on the planet maybe natural or alien that is resisting attempts to terraform. i understand more lore will come later, i would be intrigued if it were something along those lines

Does anybody know if humble has any areas that are “cities” like prime had? I REALLY liked finding big huge buildings with tons of stuff in them but can’t seem to find anything on humble besides bases. The different designs of buildings in the secret areas were my favorite part and didn’t even realize they were there till I had a full oxygenated planet and was pleasantly surprised!
